A FATAL MISTAKE.

surgical operation which caused
a great commotion among med
ical men throughout the whole
country, DR.. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. 1t
appears that q Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease of the stom-
ach, which had resisted the
treatment of all the physicians
In attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de-
rangement of the digestion,
with a poor appetite, followed
by a peculiar indescribable dis
tress In the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as
faint "all gone'' sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
a cold perspiration. There
was a constant tired and Ian
guild feeling. Thenfollowed
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. All prescribed rem
edies falling to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in order tosave the patients
life an operation was justifi-
able. Accordingly, on the 22d
Of February, 1883, the opera
ton was performed by DR..
Vance in the presence of DR..
Tuckerman, DR.. Perrier, DR..
Arms, DIR. Gordon, DR.. Capner,
and DR.. Halliwell of the Police
Board. The operation consist
ed in laying open the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done IN cxamin-
alton of the organs was made,
but to the horror and dismay
of the doctors there was no
cancer to be found. The pa
tient did not have a cancer.
When too late the medical men
discovered that they had made
a terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in a few hours. How sad it
must be for the husband of this
poor woman to know that his
wife died from the effects of a
surgical operation that ought
never to have been performed.
If this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous Prostration flor
this was what the disease really
was), she would have been liv-
ing to-day. SHAKER EXTRACT OF
RooTs, or SEIGEL's CURATIVE
SYRUP, a remedy made ex-
pressly for Dyspepsia or Indi-
gestion, has restored many such
cases to perfect health after all
other kinds of treatment have
failed. The evidence of its
efficacy in curing this class of
cases is too voluminous to be
published here; but those who
read the published evidence In
favor of this dyspeptic remedy
do not question its convincing

TARIFF REFORM.

EDITOR FREE TRADER: Mr. TrimblG con
tnually reiterates that the difference in cost
of foreign and domestic glass is the differ
cnce in the scale Of foreign and domestic
wages; says that the labor cost of Sl40, 900
worth of La Sale county glass is $4,000
more than the same would cost in Europe,
and therefore concludes that competition
would be "totaly impossible with such
labor in any open market of earth This
conclusion is based upon the assumption
that the difference in the scale Of wages is
the difference in labor cost Of production,
which TO any one who has followed these
papers must appear a patent absurdity.
certain amount of glass is produced
here at a labor cost of $50, 900. Mr.. Trimble
concludes that if the scale of foreign wages
is fifty per cent less than here, the foreign
manufacturer could make i: for 90 per cent
less, or at labor cost of $4,000, and,
therefore, competition would be 'totally i'm.

The Philadelphia Times: Governor
Foraker, of Ohio, takes fifteen pages of the
Forum to tell why, In his judgment, the
Republican party should be restored to
power. Boiled down to three sentences,
his reasons are, first, that the country will
be called upon to pay for the Confederate
cotton seized during the war; second, the
emancipated slaves will be paid for If the
Democratic party remains in power, and,
finally, the Confederate debt will have to
be paid unless the Republican party car

Considering the vigor with which it usually
attacks the of the city, and the high stand
ard of justice and freedom OF opinion to which it
lays claim, the gentleness of spirit shown in
dealing with Mr. johnson aud the street-car
company during the strike is something wonder
full in the Evening News. To be careful is COM
mendable, but God pity the who hasn't an
opinion. In recognition of the News's valuable
services Colonel Johnson might order a copy for
each of his drivers He could turn this TO &C
count BY compelling them take it from him at
about % cents per week We simply offer the
